Shrimpin' Ain't Easy

[Intro]My given name is Benjamin Buford Blue. [Break] [Pre-Chorus]I know everything there is to know about the shrimpin' business. [Break] [Chorus]Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. [Break] [Verse]I'm talkin' about a shrimp catchin' boat. I've been workin' on shrimp boats all my life. I started out myuncle's boat, that's my mother's brother, when I was about maybe nine. I was just lookin' into buyin' a boat of my own and got drafted. [Break] [Chorus]There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it" [Verse]Y'know, I bet there's shrimp all in these waters. They tell me these Vietnams is good shrimp. You know, after we win this war, and we take over everything, we can get American shrimpers to come on here and shrimp these waters. [Break] [Bridge] I was gonna be a shrimp boat captain, but I died by that river in Vietnam [Break] [Outro] People call me Bubba. Just like one of them redneck boys... You believe that?
